Wreck-It Ralph to Race in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

SEGA has announced that Wreck-It Ralph will appear as a playable racer in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

The title character of Disney's upcoming comedy will have unique transformable vehicles, as well as his own All-Star signature move.

“

Disney has created a unique film experience and our video game collaboration will give fans the opportunity to interact with their character on the small screen as well.

SEGA of America chairman Masanao Maeda said, "Wreck-It Ralph will make a great addition to our stellar cast in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Disney has created a unique film experience that will appeal to gamers of all ages, and our video game collaboration will give fans the opportunity to interact with their character on the small screen as well."

The upcoming film, due out November 2, tells the story of Wreck-It Ralph, an arcade video game "bad guy" who decides to be good. The character will be voiced by John C. Reilly, and is set to be joined on screen by Sonic in a cameo role.

The film's director Rich Moore added, "To have Wreck-It Ralph included in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a dream come true. The film pays homage to the video games I loved as a kid, including Sonic the Hedgehog in a special cameo, so being able to see Wreck-It Ralph in a real video game alongside Sonic and other iconic Sega characters is unbelievably exciting for me and should be a treat for fans!"

As we shared in our preview, 27 racers will be available to control including Super Monkey Ball's AiAi, Jet Set Radio's Beat and Joe Musashi from Shinobi.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is due out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Vita and 3DS on November 16 in Europe and November 20 in North America. PC and Wii U versions are also expected, but release dates have yet to be confirmed.
